Sorry that the news is the same as the old thread I couldn't be bothered
anyone want to buy a used moto x pure
I, a manlet, hate it. Too fucking big.
What does /g/ have in his phone?
I already installed everything I wanted and I have 89% storage free (20GB), I have no idea about what to use it for.
Not a gaymer and I already installed modded Spotify for free premium shit, so music it's not a choice.
>>53546874
Literally the only thing that takes up any space is music. All the frog pictures I have [a lot] take up practically no space
>>53546195
Just bought a lg g4 on the cheap, how did i do? Upgrading from first gen moto g, battery life on my moto g is crazy, can do some light usage and only charge once a week. Watching some videos on 4G during commutes etc.
I heard the stock camera app is the best, is it worth installing a custom rom for battery life when the camera gets worse?
>>53546874
Music takes up over 25GB on my device, I also use it as a USB storage device that I can't lose easily. Handy to keep some usefull software like installers for winrar, video players etc to install on computers. I also put some tv shows/movies on it for watching on long commutes.
>>53546336
How much?
>>53546874
Really nasty porn :^)
>>53547237
Got a G4 today too. Have you already installed MM on it?
>tfw no stores carry Nexus 6p
anyone have any words on it? I've read a ton of reviews and watched reviews on Youtube as well but you guys are honest assholes and give better opinions when not trolling. Plan on buying a 128gb version on Swappa.
>>53546874
How do get free Spotify???
Bought a Moto E 2015 XT1526 for $22 off eBay. Worth it?
Got a refurbed oneplus X for 190$. Waiting for it to get here wondering if I got memed and should have bought a xiaomi ;_;
>>53547237
Have fun with your bootloop
Huh... I guess i am looking for another phone again. Anyone have a 5x or the 6p? My hand is 3 inches wide, will i be able to one hand the 6p comfortably or is it too phablet and i should just shoot for the 5x. How is the performance of the two for anyone using one of these.
Also nextbit gave me this 25% discount for fucking up. If you want a robin and have a GSM carrier i could post the code.
>>53547853
I fucking hate my Moto E. My G was better in every way except not being able to support 4g
Ausfag here, what should I get for my next phone? I need expandable storage and want something that will be at least as good as a note 3. I will be on a plan but am happy to get anything worth around $700, doesn't matter if it is a bit higher.
>>53546874
Porn, music, photos, chink toons, apps and pretty much anything else I may want on a phone.
ive got a moto x. Im making presets for caustic 3 and enjoy emulations and order of chaos 2.
Im looking for a smartphone with the most ram, great graphics, decent battery life, a great field recording microphone, and sd card slot, and alot of internal storage as an option.
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual E6883

Recently updated to lolilop even though dev thread says its marshmallow.
Is this also the home screen thread?
Also. Whats a modern android phone that has a headphone jack at the bottom and is less than 5.0 inches?

>>53549870
Galaxy S7 has expandable storage :^)
>>53549870
>>53550481
That would probably be very expensive wouldn't it?
I have also been looking at the LG G4 and it seems pretty cool are they good? Another probably important thing to list is that I am too pussy to use a custom rom so I will need something that is decent without it.
Should I buy a haewei mate 8?
Nexus 6p is too expensive in europe, s7 too expensive

Honor 7, though it has a gimmick camera. I don't actually know so don't take me seriously.
I have a question of my own. Does anyone know how easy is it to replace a battery, when it's actually 'unremovable'? Can't be that hard when there's loads of videos about it. Do I need special tools?
blackberry. definitively blackberry.
pro: very.
cons: "les cons" will opt in for apple or some similar botnet. héhéhé !
My LG G4 has now gone off for it's third repair (1 by carrier, 1 by LG which was unsuccessful) for the bootlooping issue by LG, this time by a "head engineer".
The guy i spoke to on the phone this time wasn't a Pranjeet either so was able to do some mild troubleshooting so he could pass the correct information onto the engineer.
Could it be third time lucky boys?

What phone should I get? I just broke the screen on my HTC one m8 and have $200 for a 2 year contract upgrade
>>53556773
How does jailbreak affects front camera?
So I'm typing this on my friends 6p and it's actually really nice. I'm thinking of upgrading from my HTC m8 but was worried if my manlet hands could cope with this phone. I can still one hand it, although the top and bottom left parts of the phone, like the back button, can be hard to reach. Two handing the phone feels really nice though. Anyone else have some more experience? Were your manlet hands able to get used to this phone after a while?
6S+ 64GB
Had a note 5 before and there are a lot of things I miss from android but there are also a lot of things I like about IOS now.
I know that when the jailbreak scene takes off for the 6S then most of the things I miss will come back anyways.
>>53556773
Too bad jail breaking completely fucks up your phone after a while, starts going slow as shit
So my LG G3 just bricked, it's fucked. I have tried everything.
I really do not use my phone for anything that crazy but still like having a smart phone. I am stuck with Verizon in the USA (free, grandparents pay for it so not switching carriers).
What smartphone do I want? I really do not want to pay a lot of money, like preferably the $1 with 2 year contract. I can go up to $100 but would prefer not to.
>>53556503
Pls
I cracked my LG G2's screen and digitizer, I consider repairing it but it'd cost me 200 bucks at least to replace those and make my phone usable again so fuck that, I decided I'd go looking for a new one.
I'm sure there's something with similar specs around the 200 price tag... right? right?

Is the Z3C still good? Considering Z1C's not getting Marshmallow I fear it's just going to be left behind with Android N.
Samsung S7 Mini looks okay from what rumors show.
Got a new Galaxy S6 yesterday. Was worried about battery life but after today I was pleasantly surprised. I don't have any power saving or battery saving location on. Just normal use.
Just went from S4 to S7 today. Can't wait for the VR revolution.
Main gripe is that there is no regular music player anymore, only Google Play Music and Samsung Milk. How should I go about adding my old itunes playlists tied to my downloaded music the way EasyPhoneSync did it with the default player? I'm not going to manually create playlists on my phone.
>>53563624
>Can't wait for the VR revolution.
smartphone VR will always be shit.
way to underpowered. you get what you pay for.
I'm stuck between choosing an iPhone 6s, or a Nexus 6p for my next phone.
The only reason I'd stick with android is that all my music is on Google music, but i can just torrent all the albums and load it onto iTunes.
The only reason I can think of for going with apple is that for what I use my phone for (social media, and music), the iPhone seems to do well.
So can you guys educate myself about the pros and cons of each phone?

>>53564169
Thanks dude, I never knew about that
Just started using my nexus 5X today, pretty alright, wasn't expecting much, and it's better than I thought, good camera and screen, no memory card is the weakest part, for me at least.
Got it for 215 after tax with the new deal. Also I am trying google fi, as I already had shitty tmobile, so now I have shitty tmobile and shitty sprint, hooray.
>>53564187
It's not even out for regular S6. Probably Summer/Fall
Any thoughts on the honor 5X? upgrading from a iphone 4s

Just got a Nexus 5 what should I do with it! I like stock Android but what about kernels and rooting?!
So I'm in Canada, Ontario with Virgin Mobile. I've been due for an upgrade since November and am finally going to pick a new phone, was just looking for some suggestions and recs.
Upgrading from absolute shit tier Desire 510.

What choices do you have?
>>53566475
Moto X Play
Galaxy A5
LG G3
Galaxy S5 Neo
Moto G 3rd Gen
Galaxy Grand Prime
X5
And s6 if I feel like spending a bit of money
>>53566475
LG G4
And I ment 5X oh and some aqua shit
>>53559363
weird seeing ryerson on /g/
>>53566776
Had the Moto X Play, great phone for the price, almost stock android and godlike battery, MM improves the poor optimization that Lollipop had.
A5, G3, Moto G, S5 Neo, S6, and Sony M4 Aqua will be worse than the LG G4.
If you get it be sure to get one manufactured in/after September, the early models have a faulty motherboard that causes a bootlop that kills the phone after a couple of weeks or months. LG will change your phone for free if you are affected but you will have to waste times sending it and waiting for the replacement. Also, don't get the plastic ones, they look and feel cheap as shit.
Is the SD800/801 still better than the SD615 8 meme cores?
>>53566833
Sorry, forgot some S6 specs. Go for it, it's better in some things than the G4. Depends in the money that you need to spend to get it.
>>53566833
Thanks for the input. Moto X would also net me a $200 pre paid Visa. LG G4 would cost me nothing and the S6 would run me $100.
>>53567063
I would recommend you the LG4, but it's your decision.
A de-googled Nexus 6. I stuck a hefty case on it, and attached a wireless battery pack with Velcro.
>>53553956
Googling around should help with getting contacts and calendar exports out if your iPhone. I know my roommate found a way to do it after only a little research; something to do with syncing with some Google apps and then using Google's export service.
As for a good phone to run with Linux, just use a Nexus. They have the best long term support from Google and custom ROM developers.
>Mate 8 can be rooted and it's easy to do as well
>There are already roms out
>It's like a nexus 6p but with an sd card and even cheaper in europe

Are phones on contract that bad?
I've been using a 2013 Moto G for almost 2 years, I've been fooling around with roms and kernels before it (Nexus S, Galaxy S) but now I honestly just need a smartphone that werks.
I've never owned a recent flagship and an Italian carrier is offering the S7 for 33 €/month with a decent data plan. 30 month long contract. They replace the screen in case of accidents for something like 59 euros.
Should I go for it? I'd have the option to swap it for the next flagship after a year with a minor fee.
>>53568833
http://time.com/3732923/cell-phone-plans-two-year-contract/
>>53568893
I know all of that. Here in europoor countries most of us don't even use any kind of contract, we use prepaid SIMs and you manually charge with the credit needed for the data plan. I've been paying 13 €/month for 1000 texts (basically unlimited), unlimited calls and 3 GB, which is a pretty good plan at least for Italy.
The S7 would cost me 20 €/month more.
I just don't really want to pay 600 upfront for the phone that I could drop it and ruin it
>>53568981
What I'm saying is that this contract is really less a fuck-you-in-the-ass kind of deal than your usual contract.
No activation fees, no upfront payment, 20 €/m + my current data plan, so 20 x 30, you end up paying the S7 600 euros, on top of that you obviously have to add the data plan, which would be 13 x 30, so a total of 990 euros over two and a half years.
>>53568981
>europoor
Everything is more expensive here than the usa
>>53569076
>you end up paying the S7 600 euros
This is literally never the case. If so everyone would get a contract and no one would buy it without contract. In the end you will always pay 200-300 more, for services, getting the phone instantly, and calling/sms/data.
Also there might be hidden costs in the contract.
>>53568833
If you want a flagship, this is a good deal. But what do you guys do with your phones? Mine has specs like a moto g and it still feels overpowered
>>53569192
No. This is it. 20 €/month. Extra fees only in case you change carrier during the contracts. I read everything. We don't get fucked as soon as we sign anything like amerikunts.
>>53569223
I don't necessarily need a flagship, but I like photography and I've never owned a flagship with a truly beautiful screen and camera.
I know pictures are still gonna be shit compared to my entry level dslr and a decent prime lens, but still.
I also like the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone.
My Moto G is fine but ram management could be be lot better.
>>53569343
>I've never owned a flagship with a truly beautiful screen
You know the s7's screen is small as fuck right? You won't enjoy a screen that small.
Get the s7 edge, the difference is day and night. Or get an s6 edge plus, beautiful massive amoled screen, has everything the s7 has except waterpoof and sd. Cheaper than both of the above, and arguably better (bigger screen).
Try it out yourself in stores and see the difference.
I personally don't like samshit, neither do I like the edge feature, and the 6p is too expensive in europe, so I'm buying a huawei mate 8. It's basically 6p + sd card slot and actually affordable in europe, unlike the 6p
>>53569343
Also, with a case, as long as you're not an idiot you won't drop and break it. Get a flip case if you're that scared.
I am poor and I will buy a phone with an outdated android version (xperia z3, on kitkat).
Is possible to just upgrade it?
>>53569609
you have to check if ROMs are available for your model.
>>53569609
Z3 actually has marshmallow beta
1 year ago: Happy with Nexus 4, 8 GB 199€ edition, no SD but lived with it
9 months ago: Nexus 4 died, replaced with MotoG 2nd 2014 (8 GB 1 GB RAM) shilled by /g/, wanted to have microSD expansion
Now: MotoG is laggy as hell, Motorola sold to Lenovo so no more updates
Nexus 5X 16 GB is 299€, upgrade now or wait?

Please no.
>>53570184
But senpai. Need my waifu on display.
Anyone else with a white Nexus 5x notice how cheap the back is? It's already chipped and has weird yellow stains on it. I'm not some slob, I take care of my shit. Very disappointed. Got it at release, already looking for an LG G4 on ebay to replace it.
>>53547417
It hasn't arrived yet but I will definetely put MM on it for extra battery.
>>53548309
It's new stock I keep hearing that the devices with this issue are no longer in stock at most retailers. I ordered it direct from hong kong so who knows...
>>53551597
S7 Looks pretty awesome, great size for one handed use and battery. I would definetely put a rom on it though I doubt you would want to do that for a work phone unless you can keep it.
Maybe try getting something that will get android updates if you aren't able to put a ROM on it. Such as a nexus device or motorolla (unsure about them since lenovo takeover) and LG.
>>53551597
I managed to get my hands on an S7, it's a great phone, but I don't really think it's worthed the price
>>53570107
>>53570249
I hope some nigger steals your phone and defiles your waifu.
>>53569895
32gb is required IMO, and don't expect to take more then a couple minutes of 4k footage on it without wiping everything to save space. Otherwise it's a decent phone. If you don't want to take video at all or store anything on it then you could get the 16gb version. But if you don't want to use the camera then there's not much reason to buy a 5x in the first place.
New critical security hole in android.
everyone affected that isn't on kernel 3.18, that includes all Nexus devices:
http://source.android.com/security/advisory/2016-03-18.html
So Galaxy S7 is more secure than a Nexus 6p in this instance.
You can likely expect some new towelroot like rooting app that works on most devices.
>>53571157
>You can likely expect some new towelroot like rooting app that works on most devices.
nope, patched for all Samsung devices like a year ago. See PingPong exploit.
>April 2014: silently fixed in upstream linux as a common bug
>February 2015: CVE assignment, so known security hole
>March 2016: fixed for Nexus devices
pretty gloomy:
Linux policy of silently fixing security issues as common bugs and then Google not even watching out for CVEs
Have any rumors started yet for near-September releases? I want back to Nexus.
>>53571097
Aweh fampai.
I'd kill that shit skin for coming within 15 yards of me
Is the price difference between a 6p and a S7/G5 worth it?
I visited CebIT 2016 in Hannover/Germany. I saw some guys making a new phone called the "Saygus V2".
I am interested and I might wanna buy it. Anybody else here heard of it?
>>53571147
I don't take 4K footage and I'm OK with 5MP, problem with MotoG is 1 GB of RAM and lack of future updates from Lenovo
But 32 GB N5X is 349 so that wouldn't be a problem, is just that I didn't planned about updating a phone that is not even a year old
>>53570915
>I keep hearing that the devices with this issue are no longer in stock at most retailers.

It's even funnier because normies associate Android with Samsung, as Samsung sells most smartphones. That's why Android still has the image of bloated laggy shit.

I have the first Droid Turbo, it's a great phone but since lollipop the battery is worse and the turbo charger doesn't work anymore. I'm looking into the S7, is it any good?
>>53572768
system memory uses 8gb for touchwiz which isn't more than a nexus 6p.
rest is just carrier bloat, which can mostly be removed.
in contrast to a nexus 6p you also can use microsd cards.
Is a Z3C still a good buy? I'd be buying one used
>>53573726
depends, how much?
>>53573768
200€
>>53573787
That's a pretty ok deal. I'd try to barter for less though
>>53573817
How long could it possibly last me? I don't plan on switching phones for atleast 2 years
>>53573845
A mate of mine got a Z3C when it came out and he's still using it. It should last you for quite a while if you take good care of it but bear in mind that it's already a little bit outdated. It will be even more so in 2 - 3 years time.
>>53573914
I've been using an S2 LTE for the last 3 years, and that was a hand me down, so I figure it'll be a bit better than my current phone

Does the oneplus x work on Verizon's network in the US? I would be using mobile 3G internet and phone calls/texts. I really like this phone, but I'm not able to swap from Verizon just to use this phone. So has anyone used it with Verizon? Does it work?
>>53573998
Xperia Z3/Z5 compact are the only sub-5 inch phones worth buying.

Is the Nexus 5X really worth it? I like the pure android and the updates, but will the 2 GBs of RAM do any good for the phone in the future.
>>53574689
Ah damn, I was really getting excited for this phone. Any recommendations for a similar phone that will work on Verizon?
>>53570107
Most of the cases wont fit the leather version and if you got the plastic one you are a fucking retard.
>>53574989
>tfw a colleague got a plastic version
I think it was 50 euros cheaper than leather though
>>53575023
In some places. But some others think the leather one its the standard.
Anyone else excited for the G5?

All phones look the same now.

It literally looks like same as a nexus 5x, and the general consensus is that the nexus 5x looks good? I don't understand people.

how high are you right now?
>>53574715
Tbh it should probably be good, for example the iPhone 6s also only has 2 gb of ram and it's considered a high end phone
It's a lot about optimization, and since google made it it's gonna be p optimized for marshmallow, for whatever next update idk
>>53566336
should have gone for moto x
>>53576054
Does the Moto X still hold up? I'm considering one.
I want to buy my mom a tablet which she will use to read pdfs, and show educatioal videos and songs/ teaching aids to toddlers at school. also, general web surfing and such simple usage. I should note that the budget is tight..
I found the Lenovo Tab 2 A8 to be very affordable, with a long battery life and decent speaker ( online reviews ) So is i worth it ? Does anyone have experience with it ?
>>53574761
Most phones don't include CDMA radios because it is AIDS. Maybe a Nexus 5X? It's significantly more expensive than the OPX, but again you're very limited in options.

I don't know how expensive the fire tablets from amazon are but maybe you could check those out. A few do have cyanogenmod support so you could give your mom a tablet with pure android instead of some lenovo shit.

What is atm best budget phone?
>>53576350
Honor 5x fits all of those in that list.
>>53576220
Unfortunately Amazon products are not available in my region. Apparently this lenovo has a rom that is very close to stock android. Why is it so cheap ? it is the same price as a lower end samsung phone ( grand prime for example ) ..I mean , how many years do lenovos last typically ?
>>53576350
Moto X Play
>>53576456
>.I mean , how many years do lenovos last typically ?
I don't know, never owned a lenovo product or a tablet. I guess it's cheap because it comes with a mediatek cpu. The version I'm looking at right now also has only 1 gb of ram. Should be enough for pdf's I guess. Where are you from that amazon memetablets aren't available?
>>53576391
only the 2GB version is available atm. Good enough? (Really really cheap though)
>>53576466
I lose the dual sim. Any other alternative?
>How bad is zenfone though (I was going to CM it right away)

How long do your phones last?
My z1c decided to stop working this week, and I bought a LG G4 to replace it.
Been with the z1c for more than two years, but i feel i could've used it for longer.

There's a dual sim version and other with one sim.

is the moto e still the best phone under 100€?
Got a V10 a couple of weeks ago, and so far I'm enjoying it. Camera is really great, screen looks fantastic, and the phone is quick and responsive. Just a few issues that aren't enough to turn me away from the phone, but can get annoying.
1. The speakers are very hit and miss. Sometimes they're loud and sound nice, and other times its very hard to hear.
2. The fingerprint sensor takes 2-3 tries to open the phone sometimes.
3. When the main screen is off the second screen light bleeds a bit.
>>53576837
Send to LG, you second screen it's defective.
My note 2 is starting to feel quite old and cheap. I have ordered a leather battery cover and an aluminum bumper to increase the feel of quality, Im also planing to upgrade to marshmallows when I get the stuff, on kk right now.
Do anyone have any other ideas to make it feel newer?
>>53547774
32gb Nexus6p user here. Love the phone, and it's tougher than it looks, desu. Only complaint is that marshmallow handles some permissions things differently, and breaks instagram and a few others.
regardless, pros: great handset, beast battery life. heavy usage, 2 days without a charge, generally.
cons: fuckin huge, not for onehanding at all, and hard to find a place to keep it on you, unless you have a manpurse or something
>>53553716
How can you actually monitor CPU usage on Android?
Nexus 6p.
I fell for the meme.
>>53548578
Just got my 6p in. Love the hell out of it. It is a bretty gud phone for its price.
>>53577700
So what do you not like about it?
The first thing I can think of is the price. You've paid 600 dollars for a toy. There are toys that can do everything it does that cost 400 less.
Best phone for $350? Preferably not a phablet.
>>53577654
Well, mine was just an assumption because the phone would be very slow and hot until Google Play Services crashes itself.
>>53578628
Anyone?
>>53577654

Need a new phone. Coming from a note 3 and want something at least as good. Don't plan on using a custom rom and I want something with expandable memory and removable battery. What should I get?
>>53575536
Hello, as a former LG Employer and part of the LG G5 Team I will take tell you somethings about the modules work.
Every module will be approved by LG. Giving each one a very unique ID or "header" to be recognized. All the modules are required to have the LG Logo.
You can't change the lower part of the phone and include one with a custom logo because it won't work, LG told us to make the phone fail and don't boot at all if it recognizes a third party "adapted" to prevent damaging the phone.
All the modules will have be in a LG Box that will match the LG G5 box.
And yeah, the LG G5 looks very alike to the Nexus 5X, but we like to call it "LG Nexus 6P" as an internal joke.
Have a good night.
Little hardware help.. I dropped my LG G3 and the touch screen isn't very responsive anymore. I have to hold down the button I want to press for a good 2+ seconds until it registers.
Anyone know what this might mean?
>>53580523
does that mean that you bastards arent going to release a front facing speaker module?
can you tweak with this thing like the g3?
does that mean we wont get third party chink modules because you jews have to license everything?
>>53580636
>does that mean we wont get third party chink modules because you jews have to license everything?
Sadly yes, let's say "XXXX" company releases a third party adapter/module that works with the phone tricking it into thinking that it's a official one, LG will tell us to release a update or patch (.kdz as we call it) to break those headers and leave the module useless.
>can you tweak with this thing like the g3?
I don't know what do you mean, hardware or software mods?
>does that mean that you bastards arent going to release a front facing speaker module?
There's a list of modules already approved, that are already in production. LG told us to focus on the average-user experience, meaning that we have to fix all the flaws that the LG G4 team had. The first modules post are audio and camera related, the most "advanced" ones will be released in the last part of this year and the next one. The team will be divided, some of us will be working on that and some other will be moved into the next phone with new people.
>>53580523
>>53580763
I apologize for my English, not my first language, but I'm sure you get the idea.
>>53580763
>and some other will be moved into the next phone with new people
You mean the next v10?
>>53580849
In part, it's related with the LG V10 and the LG Flex 2.
>>53580523
>Every module will be approved by LG.
I mean, wasn't this always going to be the case? I feel like it was pretty obvious that LG would keep tight control over what modules would be used on the phone.
My question is about phone cases. Is LG making a case for the G5 where you don't have the take off the whole case every time you swap modules?
>>53581051
Not really, the only official "case" at the moment it's the Quick Cover, But LG can call at any moment and tell us to start a modular case.
Is it worth buying a Moto G3 now or should I wait for a possible new release? I want to keep the phone for atleast 2 years
>>53581152
So I'm guessing that if you have the camera or audio module on that the case won't fit anymore? Hopefully there will be a 3rd party case out that will accommodate that.
>>53581264
The first modules will be bigger and heavier, they will be most likely redesigned and re-released in a couple of months. I highly recommend you to wait and skip the first modules wave. They will be most likely used to test the usage and work to improve the new ones.
>>53580763
i mean software mods
with the likes of sameshit locking down everything, id like to get a unlockable bootloader and easy root despite it probably fucking up with the modular stuff
I haven't updated CM on my Galaxy S3 in over 3 years. Will I have problems with slow performance or something if I update to Marshmallow? I'm worried that the newest versions of Android might not perform as well on older devices.
>>53580291
LG G4
Thoughts on the new Sony Xperia X?
>>53581680
A couple of US and EU carriers asked us for locked down versions with permanently locked bootloader. And as far as I know they were talking with LG about exclusive software updates, I mean you can't install "A" carrier update on a "B" carrier phone.
I would be surprised if they approve or not that deal. But again, I would recommend you to wait a couple of months, it's worth it :)
>>53583368
The wallpapers are cute.
Is this the right place to ask? Whats the best custom rom for Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505? I'm new to this shit and these constant bootloops on stock rom are pissing me off
i have galaxy s4 and it's feeling sorta slow.
i mainly want a performance upgrade,what should i get?
Anyone else tempted to get an iPhone but won't because the price is just ridiculous? I don't know how people can buy a phone for over 500 bucks and say they did good.

We got a 8inch Lenovo tablet for our 3 year old to play educational games and watch pepper pig on a year ago.
It has to be scrubbed weekly of food and sticky drink and she throws, kicks and steps on it all the time and it works fine/hasn't broken..
Take from that, what you will.
>>53546195
>What smartphone are you currently using?

>Pros? Cons?
cons:
ugly UI
minor software bugs
double-tap to wake sometimes randomly stops working
random battery drains (usually battery life is excellent, but sometimes my phone just decides that it won't last a day when screen is mostly off, because fuck you)
pros:
everything else
>>53585925
>ugly UI
Get a launcher to hide those messy icons. The rest of the UI gets together very well.
Still worth getting an s6?
>>53585995
I installed Nova Prime, but the rest is still ugly and inconsistent. Just look at those turn-off/restart icons, terrible af
>>53586026
Haha, how can you complaint about them. Get your shit together, they are the best part of the phone.
>waiting for Unlocked Mobiles to ship S7
>>53586007

Might as well just get a Nexus 5X.
I need a tablet guys, I play sheet music off of it when I'm too lazy to print and it's /comfy/ for watching movies and stuff too. It has to be 9"+, any recommendations? Currently looking at a used z2 tablet, does anyone have experience with it?
